This example demonstrates how to calculate the area and perimeter of a polygon through geometric construction. Key mathematical concepts include area, perimeter, and coordinate geometry. Using GeoGebra commands such as Polygon, Distance, and Perimeter, the shape of the polygon can be dynamically changed to observe the variations in area and perimeter. Suitable for students at the junior high school level and above, focusing on geometry and function graphing.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Polygon(A, D, C, B) → poly1, a, d, c, b
  2. Distance(a, d) → e
  3. Perimeter(poly1) → perimeterpoly1
  4. PointIn(poly1) → Pointpoly1_1
  5. PointIn(poly1) → Pointpoly1
